As the New Year approaches, there are more gatherings, and it seems like more people around me are getting pimples. I suspect this is related to eating too much spicy, greasy, and sweet food. I suggest that besides reducing the three types of food mentioned above, these people should also eat more of the following foods.
Foods rich in vitamin A. Vitamin A helps the skin form new cells, making it softer and preventing dryness and cracking. Foods rich in vitamin A also include whole milk and eggs. In addition, beta-carotene can be converted into vitamin A in the human body, and representative foods include carrots, pumpkins, and chives.
Foods rich in zinc. Zinc has a certain effect on controlling sebum secretion and reducing cell shedding and keratinization. Foods rich in this nutrient include lean meat, oysters, sea cucumbers, sea fish, eggs, walnuts, sunflower seeds, apples, and enoki mushrooms.
Foods that clear heat and promote fluid production. Most people with pimples have internal heat, so their diet should include more foods that have a cooling, heat-clearing, and fluid-generating effect, such as mushrooms, bitter gourd, cucumbers, winter melon, tomatoes, mung bean sprouts, lotus root, pears, and apples. People with pimples should also drink more water to expel toxins from the body, keeping the blood clean and circulation smooth.
